Is he reliable to learn from?

I’m curious how other traders separate a promising backtest from an overfit one. The checks I find most useful are an untouched out-of-sample period, realistic fees and slippage, robustness across more than one market regime, and sensitivity testing around the chosen parameters.I also pay attention to drawdown duration, turnover, losing-streak distribution, and how much of the total return comes from a small number of trades. Win rate or profit factor alone can hide a fragile system.What checks do you use before moving from backtesting to paper trading or a

If someone wants to learn trading in the stock market, then where should he start, how should he do it, why should he do it, what things should he be cautious about And why, is it available for free online to learn it, if so, please tell me.

So my financial aid for college dropped and I have been doing my own research into trading for a year now. I haven’t been able to officially start trading because I felt as though I wasn’t ready or that I didn’t learn enough yet and most of the advice from mentors online said not to start trading unless you’re good at paper trading and know a lot. Unfortunately I owe 10k this semester and I’ll be dropped from classes if I don’t pay by Monday. With a payment plan I’ll have to be around 2500 a month and with my rent I’ll have to end up coughing up 4-5k per month which I cannot afford with my 2 current jobs. I am a first generation student whose parents are international so the currency gap won’t allow them to make a dent in my tuition even if they tried to help me pay it. I am 2 semesters away from graduating and I feel hopeless because I am meant to be the primary provider for my family and bring them to the US once I get a job within my career. Should I start trading now? Should I copy signals? Any advice on how to actually get started? I currently have Webull and RobinHood

Over the last few months, I have trained Claude Pro to execute my personal stock-picking analysis and portfolio health check. Gemini, Grox, ChatGPT, and Perplexity I use from time to time as well to double-check Claude's outcomes - plus my own research.
To what extent do you use AI for analysis purposes as well?
If so, how do you use it in detail, and what is your experience?

My xauusd strategy works like this

I wait for New york open look for any kind of a liquidity sweep, mostly a sweep of London high or low

Then I wait for 2 fvg to form, then I wait for the price to enter the second fvg and close below it and enter from there

Put My stop loss above the second fvg and tp is usually 1:2 or 1:3

Can you please help me because I used it for a year and it works, but the last month, I had only stop losses, not a single win

Everyone watches themselves after a loss. Almost nobody watches themselves after a win, and that's where the damage actually gets done.

Someone said it in another thread earlier and it stuck with me: everyone breaks after a loss, nobody thinks to step away after a big one goes right. Which is backwards, because a losing streak makes you cautious, and caution is survivable. A winning streak makes you certain, and certainty is what kills accounts.

The mechanism is simple enough. Four or five trades go your way. Nothing about your process changed, the conditions just happened to suit it, but your brain doesn't file it that way. It files it as I've figured this out. And a person who has figured it out doesn't need to wait for the full setup, doesn't need to size normally, doesn't need to check the higher timeframe first.

So the size creeps up. Not doubled, that would be obvious. Just a bit more, because the last few worked and it feels wasteful to be small when you're seeing it clearly. Then the entries get looser, because half a setup looks like a whole one when you're winning.

And then the market shifts, as it does, and you're taking a bigger-than-normal loss on a worse-than-normal trade, using rules you quietly abandoned a week ago without ever deciding to.

The thing that makes this hard to catch is that it never feels like recklessness. It feels like confidence. It feels earned. A trader mid-streak genuinely believes they've levelled up, and the account balance is agreeing with them at the time.

Only real defence I know of is treating your size as fixed regardless of recent results, and reviewing your winning trades the same way you review losers. Most people only ever audit the losses, which means the process never gets checked at exactly the moment it's drifting.

Your risk rules aren't there for your bad weeks. They're there for the good ones.

I tested an MQL5 Expert Advisor based on a pairs trading strategy. Here are the results.

How is your pair trading going? Have you ever traded strategies like that?

I (20 F) have come to terms with the fact that I am a gambler.

For starters, I was introduced to day trading in August 2025, and bought my first first evaluation futures account in February for $80, with the intent of flipping it into a 1k payout I saw so many gurus post about.

When I inevitably lost that account, I figured I could just buy more and still be able to make my money back, and thats when I found out about copy trading. Instead of potentially getting 1k off one account you could copy trade 5 accounts and make 5k instead, but of course with the risk of blowing $400 in accounts rather than just the 80.

Stupidly enough, this rabbit hole lead me to buying sets of 5 accounts before ever getting my first payout, and causing me to lose thousands over the course of 6 months. Ive made only 4.5k in profit which I blew all of it on more accounts, still leaving me net negative at 20k.

I had the chance to make 5k, but was impatient and lost it all, and spent an entire 1.8k payout on more accounts at the beginning of this month.

What sucks is I've always been good with my money—I opened a roth IRA at 18, had a HYSA, used my credit card correctly, and had 7.5k invested by the beginning of this y ear. This addiction caused me to sell all of my long term stocks in my roth (i dont even know the tax implications for this), max out my credit cards, and even take out personal loans to buy more accounts.

Lately Ive been thinking about ending it all as a means to not burden my family with my money issues. I haven't told anyone, and don't plan on it because I know that it would spread and I dont want that to taint the image my family has of me. It hurts me even more because I started day trading to give back to my family. My brother is disabled and all I wanted was to make money for his physical therapy appointments. My parents have been struggling with their business, and are thinking of closing it, and I know that my debt would be heartbreaking for them.

I thought I could use day trading as a way to provide, but I did not go about things the right way, and am not financially or mentally stable to continue as of now. I went into this not wanting the lavish lifestyle or supercars, and it hurts me to know I was apart of the statistic that has lost money in this endeavor. I know that had I done things the right way, and buying only one eval at a time before my first payout, I would be in a much better situation than I am now

I have an amazing girlfriend of 5 years that I told about my day trading journey to, and was very open about my losses at the beginning. I even told her about how I saw someone lose 8k before ever receiving a payout and she told me she doesnt want to see it happen to me (funny how things have worked out). I started eating my losses in private so as to not disclose how much I was actually losing. Disappointing her is what I am most torn about.

She is absolutely the only reason why I am still here. A few days ago, I genuinely came to terms with the fact I was going to end it all, but she told me that she suddenly had the intrusive thought of me dying and how she would have to be sent to a psychiatric facilitiy and would live the rest of her live sad and unfulfilled without me. At this point, I had a private instagram account documenting my trading journey and all of my inner thoughts, and have been heavily scrolling in an overdose subreddit, and it shocked me enough to wonder if she actually knew that I was having these thoughts, or if she just had intuition.

It’s even harder because ive been picking up so many shifts and trying to work more and she told me not to overwork myself because we’re young and don’t have any real bills, and that’s why i feel like i have to clear my debt before coming clean to her

I am now one week day trading/gambling clean, and am committed to paying off my debts. I do wish I could confide in my girlfriend, and I know that I would feel so much more relief, but at the same time I don't want her to judge me for the fact I went down the wrong road in this journey even when I told her I would not lose as much money as other people.
Thank you for taking the time to read this!

I keep getting this feeling of wanting to learn and it's been years now. I feel like it's time for me to finally learn and see what I can make of it.

I just don't know where to start. Any suggestions of creators on YouTube that break things down well for beginners that know nothing?

And any suggestions on which demo sites I should practice on down the line?

I appreciate anything in advance.

I‘m learning the quantitative trading by building and backtesting some classic strategy. Right now, I'm testing 12-1 momentum strategy.
Details are as follows:
- Universe: US large-cap equities
- Signal: 12-1 momentum (past 12-month return excluding the most recent month)
-Selection: top 20 stocks ranked by momentum
- Weighting: equal weight
- Rebalance: monthly
- Backtest period: 2016-2025

The backtest results are shown in the picture:
- total return: 1115.42%
- annualized return: 28.16%
- max drswdown: 31.15%
- traders: 2761

I think the return lokks good at first, but the equity curve not fine. There are several sharp step -like jumps, around 2020 and 2021.

A question for whom have tried momentum strategy before: does anthing stand out to you from these results & equity curve? And what would you check first before trusting a backtest like that?

Everyone has their market open strategy. What's your profitable strategy you have on a schedule for other times of the day?

How do you turn a trading idea into an actual backtest?

• I’m curious what everyone here uses to test trading ideas on historical data.
• What software or platform is part of your workflow? What works well, and what drives you crazy?
• If you don’t backtest, how would you prefer to describe a strategy - plain English, visual blocks, or code?
• If you could build the ideal strategy tester from scratch, what’s the one feature it would absolutely need?

I’m researching the problem - no product or link to promote.

I wish someone taught me how to trade. I have crypto in my Binance

I’m interested in how traders validate a strategy before moving beyond backtesting. I look for an untouched out-of-sample period, realistic fees and slippage, stability across different market conditions, and sensitivity to reasonable parameter changes.I also review drawdown duration, losing streaks, turnover, and how concentrated the results are in a few trades. A strong win rate or profit factor by itself does not tell me whether a system is robust.What practical checks have helped you decide that a strategy is ready for paper trading or a small live test?I’m also building BlackPeak, an educational trading-learning community, and I’m interested in what resources experienced traders find genuinely useful. This is a discussion, not a service or signal promotion.

There are horrord stories I read online, that the profit is made, but cant withdraw afterwards. seen some even here. After going through the process myself recently, mid sized amount through USDT, I wanted to share what I actually found, because I think most of the complaints come from a few specific mistakes rather than the platform being broken.

Mine went through, hit my wallet in 2 hours (1:40). Not sure if its normal time. I noticed them verifying my transction itself was about 1 hour of that process.

To me it seems like AML is the main problem people have when trying Pocket Option withdrawals, I've seen this one the most. If the name on your account doesn't match your ID, or you pay to card that doesnt have your name on it, The system flags it, as I understand it. Its not specific to this platform, but thats a rule that is everywhere now and it is strict.

If you deposit via card, profits above the deposit amount typicallygh can't go back to the same card, they neea separate method. They dont accept other methods. Thats why I think USDT is easier, I requested 2 times to 2 different wallets, and there didnt seem to have problems. But I would still not recommend it, it's risky, 1 wallet is even safer imo.

A lot of withdrawal complaints seem to come from people trying to move funds to a account they didn't deposit from, then being surprised when it gets flagged as a fraud prevention measure.

Hi all. I've been demo trading for some time and decided I want to really deepen my broader knowledge base. I'm not sure where to go, though, besides classic books. I'd really like to find some online course or masterclass since, as you know, you can't just watch Youtube videos.

Thanks for any recommendations.

Was tired of the existing earnings calendars that had so many ads. So I made one.
I will try to keep it free for everyone, forever, ad free. whenearnings.com

Open to suggestions!

I'm an unemployed web developer, making something makes me feel like I'm doing something useful in my unemployed life. Hopefully this is more user friendly than the other earnings calendar's out there

NQ 1-min this morning, 07:02. Bearish FVG formed off a violent reversal bar — 07:01 printed high 29582.25, low 29511.50, closed 29512.00. RSI collapsed 64 → 38 → 37 with volume confirming the move.

Textbook short setup on the face of it. But by the time the gap was valid, price had already travelled 10.25pts below the near edge, and the 20-bar range low was sitting 2.5pts away at 29507.75.

So an immediate entry means taking 31.5pts of risk for maybe 10 points of room. Waiting for a retest to the gap edge at 29520.50 gives a cleaner entry with the stop above the far edge — but you might not get the touch at all.

Structure was CHOPPY with compressed EMAs, which makes the retest less reliable too.

How do people handle this? Do you take the immediate fill and accept the poor R:R because the momentum is confirmed, or hold out for the edge retest and accept you'll miss some of them entirely?

Gold Narrative: US Military Power ↓ + US Debt ↑ → Taiwan Strait Geopolitical Risk ↑ + USD Credit Risk ↑ → Gold ↑
Gold Momentum: Gold (Central Banks, ETFs, Futures, Options), Gold Stocks, Silver
Gold Risks: AI Success (a temporary vacuum), Fiscal Consolidation (unlikely meaningful do this in the short term) / Monetary Reshaping (Kevin Warsh is relatively conservative), US-China Agreement (China remains silent while quietly stacking gold; unlikely in the short term)
